Unplug the phone, turn off the computer, close
the curtains and make sure the front door is locked. Carry the plate,
along with the bowl of Bruschetta mix, some chunks of Feta cheese, two
spoons, two tablecloth-size cloth napkins, a laptop computer, a couple
of Extra-Strength Pamprin, a bottle of Kwencher Orange Creme-Sicle
Water, a Rickenbacker 480 and an armload of library books, guitar
magazines and new CDs (purchased earlier that day at Amoeba Records in
Berkeley) to the bedroom.
